What problem does it solve?
This Skill solves the challenge of integrating Core ML models into iOS apps efficiently, reliably, and with good on-device performance so predictions run fast without blocking the UI.
Core Features & Use Cases
- On-device model loading and reuse: Load
.mlmodelc / .mlpackage using MLModelConfiguration, avoid repeated model instantiation, and support async loading.
- Compute unit optimization: Configure CPU/GPU/Neural Engine usage via
MLModelConfiguration and verify dispatch with MLComputePlan.
- End-to-end prediction patterns: Run predictions with typed auto-generated model classes,
MLFeatureProvider/MLDictionaryFeatureProvider, Vision integration, batch inference, and stateful inference using MLState (iOS 18+).
- Pre/post-processing support: Handle image preprocessing with
CVPixelBuffer, use Vision to manage resizing/orientation, and work with MLTensor / MLMultiArray for numeric pipelines.
Quick Start
Load a Core ML model from your app bundle with an MLModelConfiguration that selects appropriate compute units, then run an async prediction using the model’s typed input/output class (or MLDictionaryFeatureProvider) for your input data.
